<b>BOXING DAY</b>

Although this holiday is now celebrated in Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand and Canada, it originated in
England during the Middle Ages. It's observed on December 26th, and is also known as the Feast of St
Stephen. On this day, the churches open their alms or poor boxes which contain donations of money put in
throughout the year. The money is distributed to the needy and other charitable organizations.

It is thought that the name "Boxing Day" originated with the English lords and ladies who used to give
Christmas gifts in boxes to their servants on December 26th. This is also a non-working day that servants are
able to spend with their own families but still get paid.

On this day, friends exchange gifts, while Christmas Day is reserved for families to exchange their gifts.
Although considered a legal holiday in Great Britain, theaters and movie houses stay open. People also
sometimes participate in outdoor sports, horse racing and fox hunting.

The Mid-Autumn festival is named "Tết Trung Thu" in Vietnamese.

The Vietnamese Mid-Autumn Festival recounts the legend of Cuội, whose wife accidentally urinated on a
sacred banyan tree. Soon after desecrating the tree, she sat on one of the tree branches and the sacred tree
began to grow and continued until it finally reached the moon, leaving Cuội's wife stranded there. Every year,
during the Mid-Autumn Festival, children light lanterns and participate in a procession to show Cuội's wife the
way back to Earth.

In Vietnam, Mooncakes are typically square rather than round, though round ones do exist. Besides the
indigenous tale of the banyan tree, other legends are widely told including the story of the Moon Lady, and the

story of the carp who wanted to become a dragon.

One important event before and during the Vietnamese Mid-Autumn Festival are lion dances. Dances are
performed by both non-professional children's groups and trained professional groups. Lion dance groups
perform on the streets, going to houses asking for permission to perform for them. If the host consents, the
"lion" will come in and start dancing as a blessing of luck and fortune for the home. In return, the host gives

luck money to show their gratitude.

Most children look forward to celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival in August. Now, as a grown-up boy / girl,
watching kids perform lion dance and go in parade with colourful lanterns in their hands, I still remember the
happy images of my childhood when I had a good opportunity to enjoy the festive food and also learned things
from my parents such as how to make the party attractive, and when my whole family often enjoyed the feast
in a cozy, sacred atmosphere.
